UofA set police upon peaceful anti-genocide protestors, accepts money from genocidal israeli's, and cancels donations from a Ukrainian WW2 vet that suffered genocide from both russians and nazis. The UofA should take a class on morality and ethics.

“Amongst my classmates, there was much debate as to how to best defend Ukraine and stop the Soviets/Russians from coming back to our homeland,” Yaroslav Hunka said. “Some argued for joining the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. Others believed that joining the newly formed Galicia Division of the German army would be more effective because of access to German armaments, munitions and training.”The elder Hunka said he opted for the latter due to his “hatred” of the Russians, who deported a favourite uncle to Siberia and massacred political prisoners before being driven out by the Germans. He said he never participated in or witnessed any war crimes, but said as a schoolboy he heard about nazi massacres of Jews from his village.

The UofA backtracking and smearing of DEI has harmed its reputation. Reputation is everything for universities (and ever inflating tuition).

"In an emailed statement, a university spokesperson reiterated to CBC News that the proposed policy change was carefully designed to stay compliant with federal requirements.

But Amir Attaran, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, doesn’t buy that.
“I trust the federal government to make sure the U of A does the right thing and keeps its EDI program in place,” he said."

"The University of Alberta is proposing to eliminate Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) from its hiring policy."
